Getting Out There!

Endeavoring in the image arts community always requires a certain amount of self-promotion. Without it, your images would never be viewed by anybody except the photographer. I probably don't do enough promotion of my photographic work in comparison to others, so here is some shameless self-promotion.

Outside of cyber-space you can see my work at Debbie's cafe in Ajax where selected images are on display periodically during the year. Currently images from the Old SouthWest collection are on display at the fracture clinic at the Ajax Hospital.

Within the confines of cyberspace you can view my work at WatsonPhotography.ca, on Facebook , Model Mayhem, Nikon Girls and About.me. My web site is always kept current with new images from the studio, my travels around town or on the road and selected photographic publications are made available through a Creative Commons License.

Humility is one of my virtues so I usually don't highlight any recognition that I have received, but this time it involves one of my favourite images from the past few years. The image below received an Acceptance in the pictorial category in the Greater Toronto Camera Inter Club competition. Over 1200 entries are submitted each year from the best photographers in the Greater Toronto Area.

The image features Samantha Carly who gives us a beautiful rendition of a Hollywood Starlet in vintage fashion. To see more images of Samantha go to the Gallery or visit Samantha on the following social media sites: Facebook, Model Mayhem, Deviant Art or Twitter. Samantha is also an accomplished photographer and her images can be seen at Pure Vida Arts.
